SECURITY SYSTEMS

Organisations face a significant challenge when it comes to the visibility of critical data across a growing multitude of repositories . Accelerating cloud adoption , compounded by an explosion of microservices and a high rate of change ( driven by modern DevOps practices ) put customers at risk of significant data sprawl . Due to these visibility gaps , critical and sensitive data becomes hidden from IT teams and oftentimes goes unprotected . Cohesity is working to solve this issue by partnering with the leading DSPM vendors and members of the Cohesity Data Security Alliance . With this unique collaboration , joint customers maintain visibility and help assure all their stakeholders , including employees , customers and shareholders that their sensitive data is protected .



Cloud adoption continues to increase but copies of data are often shared between clouds without oversight by IT or security , resulting in the growth of shadow data . Because of this , data security , cyber-recovery and compliance are at risk , as evidenced by 82 % of breaches involving data stored in the cloud .

The need for DSPM capabilities , coupled with modern data security and management services , has never been greater . DSPM gives customers a deep understanding of where their sensitive data is , who has access to it , how it is being used and where it is stored . When combined with Cohesity ’ s modern data security and management technology , customers are building a strong cyber-resilience posture .

With these partnerships , Cohesity expects to integrate with the most comprehensive selection of DSPM solutions in the industry . Collectively , this newly formed group represents the majority of the DSPM market , providing Cohesity customers with the flexibility to choose the solution that best fits their needs .

Cohesity ’ s leading data security and management technology , coupled with the benefits of DSPM , will deliver instant discovery of all data workloads , both sanctioned and unsanctioned , while also providing assessments of which data workloads have sensitive data that are often targeted by bad actors . These capabilities enable enterprises to be even more proactive in the fight against cyberattacks and provide the following cyber-resilience benefits :

• Backup admins can see which objects have sensitive data easily

• IT and security can instantly identify protection gaps for critical workloads

• Actionable Cyber Recovery risk reports go directly to compliance teams

The Cohesity Data Security Alliance was founded in November 2022 , and contains 15 members including BigID , Cisco , Crowdstrike , CyberArk , Mandiant , Netskope , Okta , Palo Alto Networks , PwC UK , Qualys , Securonix , ServiceNow , Splunk , TCS and Zscaler .

The addition of the six DSPM security vendors brings the total membership to 21 . Cohesity ’ s Data Security Alliance offers a unique and comprehensive approach to security . Through this one-of-a-kind alliance , leading cybersecurity , data security and management and services vendors partner to seamlessly bridge enterprise IT and security by sharing context and enabling new workflows .
